Question

Mixture of 36 litres the ratio of milk and water is 3:1 another 6 litres of water is added to mixture find ratio of milk and water in resulting mixture

Answer 1

Answer: 9:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of milk be 3x L and water be x L.

Therefore, 3x +x = 36

or,4x = 36

or,x = 36/4=9

So, amount of milk = 27L

Amount of water = 9 L

Now,

6L of water is added.

So, new ratio = 27:15

= 27/15

=9/5

=9:5
